Please help me with this question Experts please

Dear student,

We consider a Gaussian surface of a pill box extremely small length and extremely small cross-section as σ.
A fraction of it ls inside the surface and tht remaining part is outside the surface.
Apply Gauss theorem to find the electric field in a point near charged conductor. - Sarthaks eConnect | Largest Online Education Community

The total charge enclosed by this pill box is q =σ ds
where σ = surface charge density of conductor.
At every point on the surface of the conductor E is perpendicular to the surface. Hence, it is parallel to the surface vector E∣∣ds
But inside the surface E=0 .
Hence, the flux coming out from the cross-section of pill box inside the surface=0
The flux coming out from the cross-section of pill box outside the surface,
ϕ=E.ds = E ds cos 0 = Eds According to Gauss.s therorem ϕ=Edsqε0= Eds σdsε0= Eds E=σε0

Regards
